US Automotive Tariffs..
Impact of the the current administration's tariffs on vehicle availability and pricing so far.
TARIFF DETAILS...
Tariffs start
Imported vehicles: April 2, 2025
Parts: May 3, 2025
25% TARIFF ON ALL NON-US ASSEMBLED VEHICLES AND IMPORTED AUTO PARTS.
The 25% tariff will be applied to imported passenger vehicles (sedans, SUVs, crossovers, minivans, cargo vans) and light trucks, as well as key automobile parts (engines, transmissions, powertrain parts, and electrical components), with processes to expand tariffs on additional parts if necessary.
Importers of automobiles under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement will be given the opportunity to certify their U.S. content and systems will be implemented such that the 25% tariff will only apply to the value of their non-U.S. content.
USMCA-compliant automobile parts will remain tariff-free until the Secretary of Commerce, in consultation with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), establishes a process to apply tariffs to their non-U.S. content.
